🚨 OPEN BUS PARADE CANCELLED. 🚨 - The open bus Parade planned by RCB in Bengaluru has been cancelled due to heavy traffic congestion in the city. https://t.co/LpGL8lJG5h

This city, with some of the best sports facilities in the country (Chinnaswamy over Ahmedabad any day), deserves this. https://t.co/nCzzeA4MMG

Unbelievable. Bangalore right now 🥳🥳❤️ #RCBvPBKS https://t.co/3K1CsTG2st

Russia accepted that they lost some of their most expensive and irreplaceable aircraft. Don't think we will see that kind of maturity in South Asia any time soon, on either side of the border.

Unless there is some clarity on what Russia would do next, global markets will be jittery come Monday morning.

Container trucks with FPV drones just rendered long-range nuclear-capable tactical aircraft obsolete. Who would have thought!

Footage of a Ukrainian FPV strike drone rising from a cargo truck and heading towards Russia's Belaya Airbase. The drone launch and airbase hit were over 4000 km (2500 mi) from Ukraine. https://t.co/XU7bCzV5QJ

If OSINT and news reports are to be believed, Ukraine just carried out the most daring offensive drone strikes in history.

At the beginning of the 20th century, cars destroyed all sorts of horse-related jobs, like stable, breeders, carriage, coach etc, but created a new category of jobs, like mechanics, petrol bunk, bodyworks etc. Same will happen with AI. Net net, not many jobs will be lost.

TECH: The CEO of Anthropic says that artificial intelligence 'could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs' and 'spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years'

Now that the deafening TV noise has died down, a reading of legit defence and geopolitical experts shows that India lost a couple of jets on May 7. But that's it. From thereon till May 10, when ceasefire was announced, it was utter dominance as Pak air defences were overwhelmed.

Expected slowdown, and still the fastest growing major economy. The subsequent revisions will be interesting, because Q4 is higher than what analysts were expecting.

RBI to transfer Rs 2.69 lakh crore to the Union Government as dividend. Highest ever dividend payout by the central bank and much above FinMin's estimates. @DeccanHerald

The instructors in my gym are all local Bengaluru boys. I converse with them a mix of English and broken Kannada. Good lads 👍🏽 For the paying customers, they put on EDM and rap. But when they work out, literally lolipop laage lu and other bhojpuri hits! 😭😂

We need more Ambedkar statues, everywhere in the country. Mother India's greatest ever son.

सबसे गर्व की विषय यह था कि जब मैं हाईकोर्ट में जज बना — एक मज़दूर का बेटा, जिसने खुद मैट्रिक तक मज़दूरी की थी उसी हाईकोर्ट में एक और जज बने, जो पूर्व राष्ट्रपति के बेटे थे। यह सब मुमकिन हो पाया सिर्फ और सिर्फ बाबासाहेब अंबेडकर द्वारा बनाए गए संविधान की वजह से। अपनी https://t.co/BMVL3LWixC

This Mahmudabad case is interesting because it is probably the first time that the RW ecosystem has tried to persecute a wealthy Indian muslim. (Correct me if I am wrong.) I read that the Prof comes from khandani wealth. On paper, he can probably bankrupt that illiterate lady
